Why CIMA?
mE NT
It gives you more career options
With its emphasis on strategic business skills, the CIMA Professional Qualification is a springboard to success both within and outside the finance arena. As well as innumerable accountancy roles, CIMA members are successful business analysts, management consultants and project managers. Others hold senior roles in areas such as operations, IT, business planning and change management. And many are in top jobs, becoming managing directors, chief executives and chairmen. You will be joining a powerful network of business leaders.
What makes the CIMA Professional Qualification different? And why should it be the one you choose?

Exemptions
We realise there may be elements of both the CIMA Certificate in Business Accounting and the CIMA Professional Qualification that youve covered during your degree or some other tertiary or professional course of study. If that is indeed the case, you could be eligible for certain exemptions. Before you accept these exemptions, however, you should be aware that professional and degree exams are very different, and that the skills and knowledge you gain at each stage of CIMAs exams will have a big part to play in your success at the higher level. Please visit www.cimaglobal.com/exemptions to find out more.

Your performance is tested by Computer Based Assessment (CBA), which offers three main benefits; you can be assessed at your nearest CBA centre whenever youre ready, your results and feedback are available immediately and if you need to, you can re-sit at a time and place that suits you. For further information on the CIMA Certicate in Business Accounting please visit www.cimaglobal.com/cimacerticate. See page nine for the full CIMA Professional Qualication.
Studying options
Attending tuition classes is one way to master the CIMA syllabus as it offers the benefits of structured feedback, qualified lecturers with expertise in the CIMA qualification and the chance to meet and share knowledge with other CIMA students. If you cant attend classes, many colleges offer distance learning packages. This means you will still benefit from a structured training programme and tutorial support. If formal tuition or distance learning is not an option, published home study packs are also available online and offline.
